TL;DR
This paper discusses the design of a global smart space architecture that supports location-aware services and their implementation through local XML pipelines and a hybrid peer-to-peer global routing scheme.
Contribution
It introduces a novel combined local and global software architecture framework for implementing location-aware services in smart spaces.
Findings
Demonstrates a working implementation of hearsay service
Proposes a hybrid peer-to-peer routing scheme for global communication
Shows how local XML pipelines support location-aware components
Abstract
A GLObal Smart Space (GLOSS) provides support for interaction amongst people, artefacts and places while taking account of both context and movement on a global scale. Crucial to the definition of a GLOSS is the provision of a set of location-aware services that detect, convey, store and exploit location information. We use one of these services, hearsay, to illustrate the implementation dimensions of a GLOSS. The focus of the paper is on both local and global software architecture to support the implementation of such services. The local architecture is based on XML pipe-lines and is used to construct location-aware components. The global architecture is based on a hybrid peer-to-peer routing scheme and provides the local architectures with the means to communicate in the global context.
